Hi everyone, I will be applying for ILR as my visa is expiring December 2020. My dilemma is my husband’s company has just announced today that they are closing (in 3-4 months) due to the impact of Covid-19 in their business. I have seen the post from government website that they are going to accept income before March 2020 as long as the applicant will meet the minimum income requirements for 6 months. Do you think I can do this when I apply in December 2020? Or this is only for someone who is applying now? Please help. I do not know what to do..
This is what they said... Changes to the minimum income and adequate maintenance requirement If you’ve experienced a loss of income due to coronavirus, we will consider employment income for the period immediately before the loss of income due to coronavirus, provided the requirement was met for at least 6 months up to March 2020. If your salary has reduced because you’re furloughed, we will take account of your income as though you’re earning 100% of your salary. If you’re self-employed, a loss of annual income due to coronavirus between 1 March 2020 and 31 July 2020 will generally be disregarded, along with the impact on employment income from the same period for future applications.
